Conditions for pet owners in Latvia

A passport/vaccination certificate/chip is not required to enter the country with a pet, although it is always recommended to have these documents with you if possible. In their absence, as well as in the absence of a microchip, you can still enter Latvia and subsequently carry out all the necessary procedures.

If you are traveling with a pet from Ukraine, please contact the nearest veterinarian to arrange a visit as soon as you settle in. The veterinarian will examine, register, chip and vaccinate the animal for free.

Phone +371 67095245, website of the Food and Veterinary Service. Animals can accompany travellers if all EU requirements are met:

·        the animal is properly identified with a microchip;

·       the animal has been vaccinated against rabies and the vaccination is still valid; 

·       the animal has a current serological test to determine the titer of anti-rabies antibodies;

·       the animal is accompanied by a veterinary certificate containing a signed statement by the owner that the animal is not subject to commercial transportation.
